Your attendees can sign into your mobile web app using their email address and password. To help, you can message your registrants to let them know how easy it is to sign in (event if they forgot their password).
Send an email to registrants with instructions. All registrants have an email address on file along with a confirmation number to this is the easiest way to reach your entire group.
1. In the communication center, select your LIST TYPE (typically in this case it will be REGISTERED ATTENDEES) and LIST SOURCE (your main event). There are further refinement options to cull down your list.
2. Click the checkbox above the resulting list of registrants to select all.
3. On the righthand side, you create the message. For this particular case you will want to provide a couple of bits of information so here is an example:
Please visit our mobile web app for the event! You'll have access to the agenda, your personal itinerary and will be able to rate sessions and speakers [this is a sample message]
From your mobile device, visit:
https://www.eventsquid.com/mobile/YOUR EVENT ID
[your actual link can be found in the EVENT BUILDER by clicking on the chain link icon atop the page]
[you can hide the URL using the hyperlink tool in the web editor]
If you aren't signed in already, you will see a red block atop the page that reads "Already Registered?". Click that to sign in.
If you don't remember your password, click the checkbox next to "Use my registration confirmation number". Your confirmation number is included atop this email.
4. IMPORTANT! On the righthand side of the Communication Center below your message, scroll down to section 2 CONTENT BLOCKS. Be sure to check "Include TARGET event detail block (date, venue, conf #)" as this will tell the system to include each registrant's confirmation number
5. Click the green "SEND MESSAGE"
Send a Text message to registrants. This is a great option as any text message includes the link to your mobile app and sign in instructions automatically. HOWEVER, registrants have the ability to OPT OUT of receiving text messages so you are not guaranteed to reach everyone. For day of event, it is not a bad idea to send an email and a text.
1. In the communication center, select your LIST TYPE (typically in this case it will be REGISTERED ATTENDEES) and LIST SOURCE (your main event). There are further refinement options to cull down your list.
2. Next to SMS, click the checkbox "Send Text Message"
3. Click the checkbox above the resulting list of registrants to select all.
4. Enter your information on the right (no need to enter the link or sign in instructions) and click the green "SEND MESSAGE"
